    Hi Agent, It was a nice and joyful trip. But we have some regrets from your end Actually we have planned our tour plan from 10-03-24 to 13-03-24. But unfortunately we had missed our flight. So that we have requested our travel agent please make a change of our tour plan from 11-03-24 to 14-03-24.
    But they have charged 4000 rupees to change the tour plan. Is that correct to charge that huge amount.
